“Go up!”

After confirming, the two of them stuffed Wei Zhongxian in. At the same time, the man in black next to the carriage said coldly to the driver of the carriage: "Go, follow the direction I said. If you deviate a little, I will chop your head and do it yourself!"

The coachman himself was a little eunuch in the inner custody. He heard this and nodded in a hurry, raised his whip and drove away.

Slap

Not far away, he threw out a piece of firecracker from the carriage and exploded at the door of Zhou's mansion.

"Master, no, Eunuch Wei was kidnapped."

In the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Yingqiu, who was still sitting in the study thinking about Wei Zhongxian's words, was suddenly awakened by the sound of the servants shouting at the door.

His face changed drastically, he stood up suddenly, opened the door, looked at the servant Lise and shouted, "What did you say, say it again!"

The servant was startled and said tremblingly: "Master, Eunuch Wei's carriage was kidnapped by a group of men in black, and firecrackers were set off."

Zhou Yingqiu's face was thin and fair. She was tall and thin, and she was used to leaning her face.

When he heard the servant's words, his face suddenly turned gloomy and terrible. He pushed the servant away and rushed outside.

"Call all the servants, pick up the weapons, and follow me to the back door!"

Zhou Yingqiu strode towards the back door and shouted loudly.

There were more than a dozen servants in the Zhou family who were immediately gathered and rushed to the back door with Zhou Yingqiu in murderous aura.

"Master, you can't open the door!"

Zhou Yingqiu had just walked to the back door, and a gatekeeper said anxiously: "The patrol soldiers surrounded our yard!"

When Zhou Yingqiu heard this, he became unstable and almost fell down.

"Master, Master, are you okay?" The surrounding servants immediately helped Zhou Yingqiu up with all their might.

Zhou Yingqiu's face turned paler, his eyes were filled with endless fear, as if he knew something extremely terrible, and his voice was extremely weak, "Send me back to the study."

The servants immediately carried Zhou Yingqiu back to the study room, and those who knew the inside story became worried.

Zhou Yingqiu sat on a chair and drove everyone out.

He looked alone at the only beating light, in the dark room, curved like a ghost.

I don’t know how long it took, but the door of the study was pushed open with a whispering sound. A middle-aged woman walked in, dressed in exquisite silk, had a plump figure and a remnant charm.

She walked to the opposite side of Zhou Yingqiu, looked at Zhou Yingqiu's flashing expression, and said softly, "Master, the patrol soldiers have withdrawn."

Zhou Yingqiu looked indifferent and nodded slightly.

This is Zhou Yingqiu's original wife, and she is also the one who advised him to stay in the capital. She looked at Zhou Yingqiu's expression and whispered: "Master, although Eunuch Wei is robbed, it will be a little tiring, but it won't make you so sad..."

Zhou Yingqiu looked at the beating flames, dark and unclear, and said, "You are too simple. You robbed the eunuch Wei and let the patrol soldiers surround the mansion. It was not to stop me from chasing people, but to warn me."

"Warning?" Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Warning what, warning us not to be loyal to the emperor and serve the court?"

Zhou Yingqiu shook his head slightly and said, "You don't understand that we are in disobeying the will of our stay here. If you want to attack me, as long as you reveal the news that I am still in Beijing, the Donglin Party will tear me apart. He did this, not only cut off my ties with the palace, but also threatened me."

Mrs. Zhou became more and more confused as she listened, looking at him and said, "Threat you? What are you threatening?"

Zhou Yingqiu frowned slightly and said, "This is what I am confused about. The person who kidnapped the eunuch of Wei tonight is probably an extraordinary identity."

Although Mrs. Zhou didn't understand very well, she felt cold in her heart. She walked over suddenly, grabbed his arm and said, "Master, let's go, we will go back to our hometown, and we will no longer care about the affairs of the court."

Zhou Yingqiu didn't say anything, sitting there with a flash of eyes. After a long time, he sneered suddenly: "I haven't lost yet. No matter what this person wants to do, since he didn't do it directly, it means he is just a scruple! Eunuch Wei is the emperor's person, and he definitely dares not act rashly. Let me see who it is, and he dares to plot against me!"

Mrs. Zhou wanted to speak but stopped. He wanted to enjoy the glory of the wife of the minister, but if it was compared with her life, she still wanted to live well.

Zhou Yingqiu picked up the oil lamp, lit up the study room, laid the paper, wrote six letters in a row, but they had no signatures, and called the servants and ordered: "Send it after dawn. Remember, this letter is for Shangshu Gu, this letter is for the Marquis of the Dongchang Housing... Remember, you can't send it wrong, and you can't notice it."

"It's the master!" The servant nodded respectfully, with a fucking look on his face.

After the servant and Mrs. Zhou left, Zhou Yingqiu sneered confidently and said, "I want to see if you are the first-year chess game or my careful plan!"

In the east of the city, in Zhu Xu's yard.

Cao Huachun's clothes were changed, and then he came to see Zhu Xu excitedly and said, "Your Highness, you have arranged everything and locked up in a dilapidated temple outside the city."

It was too late to go back to the palace. Zhu Xu sat on the chair and was reading a book. After hearing this, he thought about it and said, "Don't ask anything, you can provide delicious food and drink. Let's make plans after seeing what Zhou Yingqiu had for the emperor."

"It's Your Highness." Cao Wenzhao also nodded. What they were most worried about now was that the plans of Wei Zhongxian and others would affect their affairs.

The next day, after noon, Zhu Xu slowly returned to the palace. Recently, the palace was as dull as a steamer, and he didn't want to stay too long.

"Your Highness."

Zhu Xu had just entered the house to change his clothes, and Yao Qingqing outside said outside: "Eunuch Cao is here."

Zhu Xu changed his clothes and said, "Let him wait."

"Yes." Yao Qingqing is from the north, but her tone is a bit soft and soft, which is very nice.

As soon as Zhu Xu came out, Cao Huachun came over and handed over a booklet and said, "Your Highness, look at this."

Zhu Xu glanced at him and took it curiously. This was something Cao Huachun recorded. After reading it at a glance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Zhu Youxiao’s court discussion today did not mention the capital’s relocation. Instead, he added a huge reward and promoted the dozen people who opposed him the most fiercely, and then "released" him to leave Beijing for a limited period of time!

"This should be Zhou Yingqiu's method."

Zhu Xu nodded secretly. No one could refuse such a method of rising and falling openly, and no one could refuse it for him. The one who played in later generations was called superb.

"But, it should be more than that." Zhu Xu patted the booklet and said thoughtfully.

Zhou Yingqiu was an old fox. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he almost escaped from his crime. If Chongzhen had not held a grudge against him, he would have probably gone to Nanjing to enjoy his old age.

"Your Highness, the East Factory also reported that Eunuch Wei has been missing for many days and may be kidnapped by evil people." Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu and whispered. He had already learned about some things about Zhu Xu, and knew that some things about Zhu Xu were avoiding him, so he was extra cautious.
